Chapter 225 In Vain
Because of Hank? Lyra’s face was filled with a cold smile. She should have thought of this long ago. She took a deep breath and said, “Nore, I’ll leave first.” For the sake of Nore, she didn’t want to argue with a profiteer like Hanming Lubi. “Stop!” Hanming slammed the table, his eyes fierce. Lucy wanted to stop him, but it was too late. “We, Lubi family, are willing to let you in because of your deceased father. You not only do not appreciate it but also talk back to me like this?” Hanming was only groveling in front of people like Hank, but today, he had actually been humiliated by Lyra.
He could not swallow this anger no matter what. When he spoke, he did not show any mercy. “Everyone in the city knows how you got this project. Hank has been lenient to you many times. Do you really think everyone is a fool?”
“Dad!”
“How can you say that to her?” Nore frowned. He stood in front of Lyra and contradicted his father without any scruples. “Alright, what’s the big deal?” Lucy also tried to stop Hanming. Hanming snorted, “Why don’t you take a look at what you are? With me…” “Boss Lubi’s temper is really growing day by day.” Hank’s voice suddenly sounded. He was covered in dust and walked in from outside the door with a stern expression. His pair of cold eyes looked around the people present and finally fixed on Lyra. He came to the other side of Lyra and directly blocked the light above her head. “Mr. Barnwell!” Hanming immediately adjusted the expression on his face and came in front of them in a few steps. “Why didn’t you tell us in advance before you came, so I could go to the door to welcome you?”. Only then did Hank look over, and the light in his eyes was extremely cold. “I was just on the way. Otherwise, I won’t be able to see such a good show.” When Hanming heard the hidden meaning in his words, his smile became more and more awkward.
“Mr. Barnwell was just passing by?” Nore frowned and his tone was full of hostility. “I think you are coming for her.” Lyra’s heart skipped a beat. Before she could say anything, Hank gave a deep smile, and the coldness between his eyebrows was full of deterrence. “Since you know, I will take her away.” When he said this, he grabbed Lyra’s wrist. She was suddenly grabbed, staggered a few steps forward, and reluctantly followed him. “What are you doing? Let me go.” Lyra struggled a few times. However, Hank suddenly tightened his grip, causing her wrist to hurt. “Or do you want to stay?” His gaze made Lyra unable to breathe.
At this time, it was too late for Hanming to regret it. He watched as Hank left with Lyra. “This, this is over! Why didn’t you inform me that Hank was here?”
“I’m sorry, Sir,” Sean and the maid immediately lowered their heads. “Nore, why don’t you go out and take a look?” Lucy sighed helplessly.
Nore stared at the back of Lyra and Hank as they left.
“What for?”
Originally, Lyra had been avoiding him. Now, what right did he have to chase after her! Nore returned to his room with a cold face. He did not blame Lyra for leaving with Hank because he did not have the qualifications.
